There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

I saw it Sunday. It was indeed very good. It speaks truths, and I recommend viewing by all Americans. However, it did fail to mention some major things that would help its arguement. They probably either couldn't fit all of the over-whelming evidence into a 2-hour documentary, or they just wanted to avoid being controversial or partisan-sounding and rather apeal to the broad American audience. I don't think the writer/producer wanted to be seen as the next Michael Moore or something.

But, even with that in mind, its still a very good film. I recremend it for anyone and everyone in this forum. Its a pretty good non-partisan look on a crisis in this country.

The liberal agenda is starting to reach its peak in Hollywood, but I can never resist a good flick. I watch about 60-65 movies a year so I can definately see the influence politics has on movies. I plan on going to film school soon, that explains all the movies... And because I love movies...

That is really cool that you are going to film school NB!

Remember audio is 50% of movies, so if you need audio assistance in the future let me know

Definately will, Hev.

My dad decided I goto a regular college first and try that out, and I did and am doing very well might I add. But you cannot fool yourself, I know what I want and I am going to pursue it. After a couple weeks of arguing I finally got my dad on my side.

I honestly do not know much about audio, that is definately something I should know more about.
Godbless, Tadpole.

If you are gonna go to a good film school you will be learning A LOT about audio.

I can do mixing, mastering, engineering, field audio... whatever you need man!

Don't worry, I won't forget who to ask if I get myself in a jam. Also, thanks for the offer, Hev it means a lot that some people are so willing to help.
